I really think we have to pitch it along the lines of the Alaska permanent fund (which is in fact a guaranteed minimum income, just smaller in magnitude than what most people think of) and is never opposed by anyone ever. For example, it might be more politically palatable to say, "Dear John Doe, here is your check for the oil and coal revenues that were collected in your name from beneath your homeland. Also there is some money from the toll bridges that we operate for you and the sales taxes we collected in your name from merchants operating in your area. Btw's we also gave the same check to all your neighbors because they live here too."
